Arsenal are ready to sign a second defender from St Etienne.
Having landed William Saliba a year ago, before sending him back on-loan this season, the Gunners are now interested in his ASSE teammate Wesley Fofana.
But Football Club says Arsenal have asked about a price for Fofana, though aren't alone.
Everton and AC Milan are also keen on the defender.
For their part, ASSE are keen to do business, though favour a similar arrangement to Saliba where Fofana would spend next season on-loan with the Ligue 1 club.
